The Pittsburgh Steelers made a flurry of moves this season to try to spark a real change that can hopefully lead the team to its first playoff victory since 2016. But in doing so, the Steelers have made what many would consider to be a fatal mistake in today’s NFL by becoming one of the oldest teams in the league.
There have been plenty of criticisms about the Steelers’ team-building strategies, most notably about the defensive spending. The Steelers have the most expensive defense in the league, but they also have the fourth-cheapest offense, which contradicts the spending habits of the league’s top title contenders.
